Inspired By Design With Katie Ruppert
Welcome to Inspired by Design with Katie Ruppert—a podcast for women ready to stop overthinking, trust themselves more, and take action on the life they actually want (without blowing it all up to get there).
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along, like you’re juggling all the things but still unsure what’s next—or how to actually do it—you’re in the right place.
Each episode is here to inspire and empower you to take the action you've been holding back on, using practical tools you can try this week—not someday when things calm down.
You can expect simple shifts, real talk, and lessons learned from the middle of the messy journey—not the mountain top. She mixes mindset, Human Design, wellness, and everyday life to help you:
- Feel more ease and less resistance in your day-to-day
- Take small steps that lead to big change
- Navigate stress without self-doubt or burnout
- Use Human Design in a practical, fresh way (no fluff, no fancy)
- Trust your next right step—even if you’re still figuring it all out
Because change doesn’t have to be extreme to be powerful.
Let’s make it feel lighter, more doable, and designed for you.

#57: Leadership Is Evolving—With or Without You with Dr. Lynnea Brumbaugh
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Leadership Is Evolving—With or Without You
What if burnout isn’t a badge of honor—but a sign your leadership model is outdated?
In this powerful conversation, Katie sits down with Dr. Lynnea Brumbaugh founder of Executive OS and trusted advisor to executive teams navigating change without emotional chaos.
With experience working alongside organizations like MetLife and Gen X Consulting, Dr. Nne helps leaders move from artificial harmony to conscious clarity—without losing performance or profitability.
This episode is a masterclass in:
- Why mentorship matters more than management
- The generational shift redefining leadership
- How artificial harmony quietly sabotages teams
- The role of nervous system regulation in executive decision-making
- Why self-awareness is the most important leadership skill of 2026
- Integrating the The Enneagram into team dynamics
- How energetic practices belong in corporate spaces
- What it means to lead from presence instead of pressure
Dr Brumbaugh vulnerably shares her personal transformation—from childhood cancer and multiple near-death experiences to betrayal, breakdown, and rebuilding her life from a place of deep awareness.
This is not just a leadership conversation.
It’s a consciousness conversation.
And it will change how you see burnout, conflict, and purpose.
